    Could someone tell me the difference in job duties between driving in the Oil Field division VS a Tanker division. Things like responsibilities/duties, type of clean up of equipment, safety procedures, etc. Is one division more time consuming when handling equipment then the other or about the same?

    Oil field- crap roads, double bottom trucks, alot of dirt road driving, H2S poison gas, mud like u have never seen, gauging tanks for gravity, ALOT more paperwork, ALOT more money.
    Tankers- all pavement, normal loading racks, no mud, drop and go very little waiting, less $, less physical labor.
